"If we see the opposites in ourselves, we are less likely to judge and blame others. If we have identified too closely with the light, have too idealized an image of ourselves, then our shadow will surely come up and hit us on the backside. The same is true if we have identified with our negative side; we could be struck from behind by our goodness. Either position is a denial of our wholeness."
Dancing in the Flames, The Dark Goddess in the Transformation of Consciousness
(Marion Woodman and Elinor Dickson)
